Hi all,

It's been a long winter for Daniel and things have been a little slow
lately so we wanted to take this chance to ask you to send Daniel a quick
hello. He's been very busy with his Master's program (he's just about
completed the 2nd quarter), so responding to every single letter is still
tough. Nonetheless, he cherishes every piece of mail he receives so please
take some time to write to him at:

Daniel McGowan

Daniel McGowan is an environmental and social justice activist. He was
charged in federal court on many counts of arson, property destruction and
conspiracy, all relating to two incidents in Oregon in 2001. Until
recently, Daniel was offered two choices by the government: cooperate by
informing on other people, or go to trial and face life in prison. His
only real option was to plead not guilty until he could reach a resolution
of the case that permitted him to honor his principles. As a result of
months of litigation and negotiation, Daniel was able to admit to his role
in these two incidents, while not implicating or identifying any other
people who might have been involved. He was sentenced to 7 years in prison
on June 4, 2007 and began serving his time on July 2, 2007.
